Understanding the Audit Window

The Audit window provides a wide selection of options that enable you to navigate between the available audit features to configure data to be displayed, and view selected data in intuitive charts and tables. Auditing provides a number of main views, as represented by links in the Audit navigation bar. They include:

• DB Audit Data: Enables you to display database audit results in intuitive views that include charts and tables, which assist in analysis and provide tools to configure a scope of data based on audit policy and time frame (according to your local time zone). For information on configuring and viewing audit data, see Analyzing Audit Data.

  Note: If your MX is configured as a Large Scale MX, DB audit data is unavailable in the MX as it is managed by Sonar and can be viewed and analyzed there. For more information, see Understanding Large Scale Gateways and Large Scale MX.

• Audit Management Statistics: Assists you in examining statistics regarding audit system status and determine if auditing is operating properly, and examine settings to resolve any problems that may be present. For more information see Managing Audit System Status.
• Archive Management: Provides you with the tools required to manage archived audit data. Enables you to import previously exported archives into Imperva On-Premises for analysis using all the tools available to current data. For more information see Managing Archived Audit Data.
